Notice:

I probably won't be publishing to this much anymore. As much as I would like to make my tools open source, it makes more sense to keep them private. I'm working on an avatar and gating these tools behind a license check would help prevent leaking of avatars while not preventing most editing. I have some seriously cool tools and if you ever want access to them, just purchasing one of my avatars will grant access. I hope to make it easy to transfer between projects outside of just what I create but this is why this repo is getting sort of abandoned.

WhyKnot VPM Listing

A VRChat Package Manager listing for WhyKnot's VRChat editor tools. Add this listing to the VRChat Creator Companion (VCC) and the packages below appear in the Add-Package dialog of every Unity project you manage with VCC.

Click to add to VCC: https://vpm.whyknot.dev/ Manual entry URL (paste into VCC's Add Repository dialog): https://vpm.whyknot.dev/index.json

Packages

Package	ID	Source repo
VRCFury QoL	dev.whyknot.wk-vrcfury-qol	RealWhyKnot/wk-vrcfury-qol

Add to VCC

The fast path: click https://vpm.whyknot.dev/. The page redirects to a vcc:// handler URL, VCC opens with the listing pre-filled, click I Understand, Add Repository.

If the click path doesn't work (VCC not registered as the vcc:// handler, browser blocks the redirect, etc.):

1. Open the VRChat Creator Companion.
2. Go to Settings -> Packages -> Add Repository.
3. Paste https://vpm.whyknot.dev/index.json and click I Understand, Add Repository.

After either path, open any Unity project managed by VCC. The packages above are now available under Manage Project -> Add Package.

How it works

This repo is purely a listing. It hosts no zips of its own:

release.yml in source repo               this repo's build.yml             GitHub Pages
--------------------------                ---------------------             ------------

    build zip + package.json
    create GitHub Release  -----------+
    POST repository_dispatch          |
        rebuild-listing  ----------------+

                                      |  repo in source.json,

                                      |  package.json, rewrite url --> public/index.json
                                      |                                      |
                                      |                                      v
                                      |                            vpm.whyknot.dev/index.json
                                      |
                                      v
                              GitHub Releases keep
                              the zips on GH's CDN

The build runs on:

• repository_dispatch: rebuild-listing -- fired by the source repos right after they cut a release.
• workflow_dispatch -- manual rebuild from the Actions tab.
• schedule: cron '0 6 * * *' -- daily safety net.
• push to main whose paths touch source.json or the workflow itself -- for adding a new package.

Adding a new package

1. The source repo needs a package.json at root (VPM manifest) and release.yml matching the pattern in wk-vrcfury-qol/.github/workflows/release.yml.
2. Append { "repo": "<owner>/<repo>", "packageId": "<dev.whyknot.foo>" } to source.json's sources array. The packageId is the expected name field in the source repo's package.json; releases whose package.json declares a different name are skipped (this is how a renamed package keeps historical zips on GitHub without dragging the old id back into VCC). Push to main -- the paths: filter on the build workflow will trigger a rebuild.
3. Tag a release in the source repo. Its release.yml posts repository_dispatch here, which kicks the build a second time so the new release is in the listing within ~1 minute.
